prescribes what the color of his dudeship's
gloves shall be, and argues with profound
wisdom upon the superiority of the linked

The attempt and failure. of the sales
women to organize all association for secur-
ing certain privileges. or rights rather, from
employers. has social as well as business
phase. The successful work of such or
carnations among statesmen, and the abil-
ity shown by similar societies among the
women of the East engaged in trade sug-
gests that lady clerks are largely influenced
by social causes in their reluctance to enter
the paths of organized labor They hate
the nOtoriety which must be in greater OF
less degree the accompaniment of
their every act as an organization.
Many of them have seen better
days, and the majority of them have
been gently reared, so that their
position is unpleasant, even when devoid of
the extra publicity which their society
would necessitate. Every woman, almost.
whatever her position or employment in
life. hopes to be married, and the lady
clerks, in common with the rest of their
sex, look upon their work as merely tenn
porary matter, to till in the time until they
shall be promoted to the position of wife
and houSekeeper, and this is doubtless a
strong reason why they do not insist upon
short hours and other rights that are
guarded so sedulously by working men.

The Caledonian clubs Burns festival was
striking example of how greatly diverse
social elements can be brought together in
happy unison when common feeling woes
them. All Scotchmen love Burns. To the
lowly there is honest pride and happiness in
the fact that he was one of them; in their
dialect his wit sparkles brightest, and not
infrequently his thought reaches its highest
flight; to the arist0cratc there is pleasure in
the fact that the Scottish bard was the friend
of mobiles, his unseen c0ronet being uneX-
ceiled by the gittering circles that bound
the heads of their greatest lords, and to all
there is the humanity of the man and
his ardent love for the land dear to them
ali. And this universal admiration was
displayed last Tuesday evening. and proved
a trite saying that Scotchman is a Scotch
man first, last and all the time. True the
scholarly men who spoke were fortunate in
being able to express what all felt. but they
were no more the possessor of Burns than
those less fortunate. The kindly social in
terningling that followed the feast and
the toasts was another proof of the equality
which common love for one great object
makes among all mankind.

The charity ball, which was so we'll
patronized by the Jewish people, NAV well
be lesson to the liberal church neople of
the city. A great deal of fun has been
made of charity balls wherein hundreds of
dollars have been spent on arrangements,
leaving but little for the poor: but our
Hebrew citizens did not work it that wav.
and their party was very pretty and thor
oughly enjoyable. Winter is not over, far
from it, and the generously disposed society
people can be doubly happy if they WILL
they can dance with lighter hearts for the
COOL their money is doing.
